affected ball couple forward help hopefully move passing ran seems third trying work
I thought we ran the ball well and our first- and second-down passing was much improved. It seems like you have something you have to go to work on every week. That is just kind of where we are right now. Our third down was affected by our pass protection. We are trying to look at a couple different combinations to hopefully help us move forward in that area.
accomplish enable forward goal good move players saw team trying
Our No. 1 goal is trying to find 53 players that will enable us to have the kind of team that can move forward and accomplish the things we want to accomplish. I saw a lot of good things early.
adjustment direction forward help move needed performed
We have not performed up to our expectations. We needed to make an adjustment to help us move forward in the direction we want to go.
decided help improve joe move needed offensive promoted turn
We decided that we needed to make a move to improve our offense. We promoted Joe to offensive coordinator because we feel that he will be able to help us turn this around.
coming confident david duress looking offense offensive performance sure total
I'm sure that our offense is not real confident coming out of this game, but they'll recover. David was under duress a lot and I don't think our offensive performance was really what we were looking for out of our total offensive team.
came execution match played
I'm very discouraged about the way we played tonight. We came in with the right intentions, but our execution didn't match up with our intentions.
basically played
I'm very disappointed in the way we played tonight. The thing I was most disappointed in was basically the fundamentals of our team.
ball benefit invest liked offense time took
I liked the way our offense took the ball down the field, but we didn't get in, so we have to invest a lot of time in our goal-line work. We're experimenting with some new people, so I think we'll benefit from that.
coming gotten handled losses needed played proud row stronger team three
I'm proud of the way our team played today. We are coming off of three heartbreaking last-second losses in a row and we needed this win. We've gotten better and we have become stronger because we've handled the disappointment of those losses the right way.
blinders doubt hang next prepare
I have no doubt that this team's going to hang in and keep fighting. They're disappointed and frustrated, but they have to put blinders on and prepare for the next challenge.
achieve appreciate coaching forward given help job known looking nick opportunity position respect staff time utmost
I've known Nick for a very long time and have the utmost respect for the job he has done at every coaching position he has held. I appreciate the opportunity he has given me, and I'm looking forward to working with him and his staff in any way I can to help the organization achieve its goals.
basically defense gets nickel offense stay
Their defense really complements their offense. The offense gets up on you, and then the defense is able to basically stay in the nickel and really get after the quarterback.
cannot care great job taking turn
We have to do a better job of taking care of the ball. We know the Steelers do a great job of it and they do not turn it over much. We cannot turn it over.
wrong
We've had more go wrong than we have go right.
